The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Singapore tries to improve the competence of Indonesian seamen who perform sign on-sign off activities in Singapore. The efforts to improve the competence are done through the provision of Singapore Indonesian Workers Card (KPIS) which will facilitate Indonesian seamen in Singapore to gain access to skills training after they finish sailing. This was disclosed by Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore, I Gede Ngurah Swajaya to media  in Jakarta on Monday.
 
“…The next stage  is seamen. The seamen  who perfrom sign on - sign off duty are around 20,000-30,000. The next stage is that we go to the sailors. Well this will continue to be developed. So, the Indonesian seamen working on Singapore-flagged ships are to sign on and off in Singapore through the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore. So, these seamen will also be given cards like KPIS that make it easier for them, for example, if they get access to skills, they should always improve their competence," Ngurah said. 
 
Ambassador Ngurah Swajaya added that providing Indonesian Workers' Card (KPIS) to Indonesian seamen in Singapore is one manifestation of services and protection efforts to Indonesian citizens (WNI) who become workers in Singapore. In addition to facilitating access to skills training, with KPIS cards, Indonesian seamen in Singapore can also easily gain access to employment insurance or BPJS employment from the government of Indonesia. The granting of KPIS to Indonesian seamen in Singapore is a follow-up of the provision of KPIS to Indonesian Migrant Workers (BMI) in Singapore since December 2016.
